The co-op program is structured so that study terms are alternated with paid, full-time work terms that are directly related to the co-op student’s program of study.
Students typically require an additional year of study to complete the co-op work terms while fulfilling the academic requirements of their specific program.

At the beginning of each work term students will be registered in their appropriate work term course. Registration in the course will trigger the work term fee of $390 to each students account. Each student will be notified when this has taken place. Students pay via Carleton Central as they would for any other academic course.
All students on a co-op work term are required to write a work term report that is graded by the Co-op Faculty Advisor for their program. The work term report is a chance to reflect on experiences during the work term, and what was learned.
Work term report guidelines can be found on cuLearn under the relevant work term course. Please note that work term courses on cuLearn will be open to students at the start of each term.
